It's been a few years since I was on this committee, but I do recall that we were very good at sometimes working on a consensus basis. Often in this area, the witnesses proposed by different parties are the same witnesses, so I don't want to constrict us in that kind of way. I think we've all worked very well collaboratively, and I think that if the worst comes to the worst, we have traditions in this place about how that is done. I certainly don't want us to be constrained by a motion when in fact we may all agree.
